L.V. Towns was born in Litroe, LA on July 19, 1931 to Oliver and Mary Estelle, there he grew up with his three siblings Elton Towns, Dennis Towns, and Mary Eloise Barham. On October 2, 2023 he met his Lord and Savior face to face surrounded by his loving children Linda, Bev., Richard, and Kayla, who he thought of like a daughter.

L.V. married the love of his life Josephine Reppond Towns on August 22, 1950. Together they built a beautiful life and raised three children where the Lord blessed them for their faithfulness for 72 years and during these years, they were active members of Dean Baptist Church.

L.V.s life was an image of the American dream. He grew up in a simpler time raising stock by horseback in the Ouachita River bottom and hauling pulpwood to make extra money. Because of his hard work ethics, from there he went on to build a successful masonry company from 1962 to 1989. During this time, he also continued to grow the homeplace into the farm that's still in operation today and expands over five generations. L.V. had a love for people and used his humor and wit to build relationships with everyone he met. Although he joked often, he was serious about is faith in God, his principles, and his love he had for his entire family.
